Reverse image search, Safari Vs Chrome on iPhone: 

For the iOS default browser safari, you can easily do a reverse image search. If you already have an image downloaded in your library, you can search for or identify it.

  • There are two possibilities: either you want to search for an image by a URL or you have an image in photos.
